19 Beautiful Blue Bathrooms That Feel Instantly Relaxing
Bring serenity to your space with these blue bathroom ideas.
If you’re looking to upgrade your bathroom, designers say you can’t go wrong with blue. Whether you’re planning a major renovation or looking for a simple DIY makeover, these blue bathroom design ideas are sure to inspire you.
Why do pros love a blue bathroom? For starters, it’s a versatile shade. You can lean into a pastel blue for a lighter, airy feel or deep navy blue for a little drama (or use both to create contrast!). It’s easily incorporated into any design style. What’s more, blue is a timeless choice. Trends may come and go, but a blue bathroom won’t ever feel outdated. Lastly, blue tends to be a calming color, which makes it ideal for this space. When you’re getting ready for the day or unwinding before you go to bed, you’ll want a space that feels serene.
If you’re looking to bring blue into your bathroom, there are countless ways to do so: tiles, paint colors, wallpaper, wall art, and bath mats are just a few ways to incorporate the shade. You can also get creative with the appliances themselves. Who says you can’t have a blue tub?
Ahead, check out some of our favorite blue bathroom design ideas for every home style.
Blue Tiles
Cover the lower half of your bathroom's walls with diagonal tiles to bring texture and color into your space. For added dimension, opt for tile with a balanced mix of lighter and darker shades, like the one shown here.
Nautical Design
This royal blue shade works well with silver or bright colors, such as yellow. Lean into the nautical aesthetic with a submarine-style mirror and ocean-inspired art.
Bold Flooring
You can't go wrong with blue and white. Keeping the color on the floor brightens the space without being overwhelming.
Pops of Color
Brighten up an all-blue bathroom with contrasting colors, like yellow and orange. In this case, a yellow pendant light and framed artwork offset variations of cobalt.
A Touch of Glamour
The touches of navy throughout this bathroom — from the underside of the tub to the window's curtain — bring the drama (and it's a perfect match for the gold accessories).
Brush Stroke Wallpaper
With warm blue hues and clean patterned lines, this wallpaper evokes a zen feeling. Keep the rest of the space completely white, so the blue can really pop.
Dusty Blue Accent
Paint the vanity in a dusty blue shade to complement the bathroom's timeless elements, including the herringbone tile backsplash and brushed gold hardware.
Moody Blue Walls
A textured wall covering instantly enhances even the smallest bathroom. Add even more color with fresh flowers and decorative accents in contrasting hues.
A Powerful Color Combo
By painting the walls blue, everything else in the room — the clawfoot tub, medicine cabinet and shower curtain — is given the space to shine.
Painted Tub
Adding a coat of cool blue to the underside of your bathtub brings the illusion of a spa-like space.
A Farmhouse Look
Let your bathroom door do the talking. Paint the door bright blue, then keep the rest of the space neutral to stay true to the farmhouse aesthetic.
Mother Nature
Bring the outside in with botanical-inspired wallpaper, like designer Kerry Hoyt-Pack did in this ultra-glam space. Sprinkle in gold and white accents for a nice contrast.
Mix Chevron and Floral
Chevron tiles never go out of style, especially when they come in the color blue. Pair 'em with bold floral wallpaper and gold accessories like Ginny Macdonald did in this colorful bathroom.
Tile All Over
Vintage meets modern in this bathroom with blue tile walls, a statement pendant and gold embellishments.
Bright Blue Vanity
Designer Tamara Day makes the most of this small bathroom by turning the blue vanity into a focal point, paired with a hexagon mirror and geometric tile.
Cornflower Blue Accents
With the basic shower stall and rustic-style sink, the blue linen curtains offer a splash of color.
Skirted Sink
Hide the under-the-sink mess with a striped skirt, which also adds a dose of color to an otherwise all-white space.
Cool Blue
Cool colors refresh any space. Go for powder blue cabinetry instead of traditional white for a subtle statement.
Soft Blues and Whites
This soft shade of blue transforms any bathroom into a warm and calming atmosphere. Pair it with off-white furniture for a continued sense of ease.
